Among several characteristics of IP are four phases of skin manifestation that tend to follow Blaschko’s lines, in addition to abnormalities of the eye, central nervous system (CNS), and teeth. Ocular involvement in IP patients can occur since birth, which can be classified into retinal or non-retinal disorders. Retinal disorders can result in detachment, which is a major ocular threat for IP patients. This article reports two IP cases with overlapped phases of skin disorders in baby girls with ocular manifestations since early life. Clinical signs and additional examination of the skin and eyes are utilized to make the diagnosis. All the features of the histopathological examination supported the diagnosis of IP, and ocular exams revealed abnormalities in the form of retinal neovascularization (RN). Although RN may resolve spontaneously, patients should be monitored for the development of other eye disorders such as visual impairment.Keywords: genodermatosis, incontinentia pigmenti, ocular manifestation, retina
